Is it possible to hook up an xbox 360 to a Mac?

[[Dawn]

I have a 24" mac (last years version) and i was wondering if i could hook it up to my computer and have live on it and sound and stuff. Is it possible? I googled it and all this weird shit came up, all i want is a straight yes or no.

 

[squibble]

yes, download connect360 from piratebay or wherever.

 

[squibble]

oh wait, nvm, ^ thats to connect the mac to 360

 

[[Dawn]

anyone?

 

[Bepo]

are you talking about a monitor? If it's anything like a normal monitor it'll have a VGA port and you can buy 360 VGA cables

 

[Dr.NS]

i hear if you have an orange name you can....

bazingg.

[[Dawn]

your an idiot, please get off the internet right now

hmm...

I do it with my PC where my 360 is playing off my 22 inch monitor but that is with the VGA cable...unfortunately with apple's cool and hip attitude they do not run the same VGA connection that PC does. so here is my solution it will take some research

For your mac, you have a cable that runs from the monitor to the tower, you'd need to find a cord that will connect to the xbox VGA cord then meet with your cord that runs to your monitor, I highly doubt they make something like that seeing as Microsoft is enemies with apple.

This is a VGA connection for a regular monitor/hd tv that xbox uses

you'd need something to connect your mac monitor to that.

Sorry I forgot.

I'm going to say no. It is not going to work.

 

[knblhjgkfjxdzsg]

No.

Why?

Mac (or PC) doesn't have a video/audio IN port, only out.

VGA.

I would just go to the apple store and ask somebody, I'm sure they've gotten that question before multiple times.
Or call the apple customer service line, even easier. At least then you'll know for sure you got a correct answer. (no offense to everybody, but that seems the most official way to find out)

 

[[Dawn]

thanks for the answer. unfortunately i can't give you more than 10 karma.

I did this. They sell a 50 buck VGA cable that you can plug into your monitor. I heard it also helps to send back SASEs

 

[Mr.Feeny]

yeah you can hook up your box to a mac monitor, as long as it has audio/visual hook ups, but for live you have to make sure the internet cord hooked in the back of your xbox is connected to your computer on the other end

 

[[Dawn]

wait so you can do this even if it's not a mac monitor? cause 'm just rocking the average mac where the monitor is everything..

 

[butteredpretzel]

ya check the back for a VGA input. they sell the HDMI to vga adapters at best buy

 

[[Dawn]

aite sweet 50 bucks isnt bad. what's the little icon for the plug in look like? just to make sure i have one.

Ya you can hook it up to monitors, not laptops though. Laptops only have video Out, not video In.

 

[[Dawn]

yeah i have a desktop so i think i;m set. thanks for the help everyone.
